There is an issue, give a thumbs up here:

github.com/mastodon/mastodon/i

(This is an excellent issue by the way, it suggests some good ideas to help new users alongside the request for making approval default.)

To be fair to the current version of Mastodon, it does now warn admins not to use open signups unless they have a strong moderation team, but it seems some admins ignore that warning. 😦

after several years around here I found out that a good way to avoid spammers is blocking Tor exit nodes IP's.

Wouldn't that exclude people legitimately using Tor for privacy?

@homegrown yes but none of them are legitimated users, zero complains. @pancake @jerry

@spla yeah, I should probably block tor exit nodes. I get plenty of spam from other IPs too, but nearly everything coming out of exit nodes is malicious. I have a hidden service that people can use, but that almost no one does so I am not sure blocking exit nodes would be a big hit to privacy conscious people. @homegrown @pancake

@homegrown since Mastodon v4.2.8 it automatically switch new user registrations to require moderator approval whenever they are left open and no activity (including non-moderation actions from apps) from any logged-in user with permission to access moderation reports has been detected in a full week.
And registrations are closed by default on new installations.
